🤝 Card Show Partner Opportunity

The Card Table
is Already Set.

We've built the tech, the outreach engine, and the niche strategy. Now we need someone who knows cards, loves shows, and wants to be the face at the table.

The Market

The sports card market hit $12 billion and is on track to exceed $25 billion by 2033. It's not a fad — it's a legitimate alternative asset class, driven by nostalgia, scarcity, and a new generation of collectors who trade online.

Baseball cards are the most liquid segment. Graded modern rookies — particularly PSA 7–8s — sell fast, hold value, and attract repeat buyers. That's exactly our niche.

What's Already Built

Why Not eBay?

eBay works for volume players with fat margins. For sub-$100 graded cards, the economics collapse.

	eBay	Edington
Seller Fees	13% (kills sub-$100 margins)	10–12% (competitive + curated)
Curation	None — you're competing in noise	Niche-focused, quality-controlled
Community	Transactional, no loyalty	Repeat buyers, built trust layer
Grading Speed	PSA backlog: 60+ day wait	SGC for faster turnaround
Brand	Zero — you're a seller ID	Named brand with niche authority
